Domain name swap
-
Hi,
Thank you for your amazing work. I’m new using Laytheme and I’m very happy with the results and with all the possibilities to keep improving the site.
I just wanted to ask you about redirecting my URL. I watched the video moving to another WebHost or Url but I don't understand how to do it. It looks very confusing to me. I don’t want to move to another host I just want to change my URL and see it in the browser address bar.
I made the website with Dreamhost hosting as you suggested and I used the URL name designated for Dreamhost http://gabmor25.dreamhosters.com/
In the meantime, I've kept my domain https://www.bielmoreno.com/ with my old Squarespace website
Now I finished the website with Lay Theme. So, I just want to use my domain www.bielmoreno.com on the Wordpress site hosted by Dreamhost which has the Url http://gabmor25.dreamhosters.com/
I registered my domine https://www.bielmoreno.com/ with a hosting company called Cdmon a few years ago.
Should I have to backup and open another WordPress or I can handle it just using the plugin Wp Migrate DB. Sorry but I don't get it. Obviously I don’t want to lose my content, I spent a lot of time working on it.
Thank you in advance for your help,

Dear @Biel-M
really the best this is to ask your provider and go with him through it.Backups are always recommended!
Best!
